How does 9 or so runs with two outs sound Come on Manos

D'angelo ropes a single up the middle and Alomar comes in and the Sox got the lead Beautiful swing by D'ang!!! Come on Manos, nows the time to get one through. You've hit it hard all day. Cleveland is making a pitching change bringing on the lefty. Does JM put Graffy in?

Alomar rips a double down the 3rd base line on an amazing at bat. He kept fighting pitch after pitch off and then finally ripped one down the line to tie the game up. Come on D'Angelo you can do it

Damn it, Vizquel makes an awesome play on a soft hit grounder and throws Rowand out. Crede is at second and Sandy Alomar is at the plate. I smell a homer. Alomar is gonna give the Sox the lead right here, helping his team-mate and Sox starter Bartolo Colon

Crede rips a one out single. Rowand is now up. Last time Rowand had a great sacrifice bunt that was a big reason we got our first run. Hopefully this time he can get a basehit or a double or something good to help tie the game or even better get the Sox the lead.

Jose Santiago is now pitching for the Indians. Crede, Lee, and Rowand are due up. Carlos Lee tries dropping a bunt on the first pitch, but it goes foul. Great IDEA Carlos. Carlos went done. Great pitching sequence by Santiago, Lee had no chance on any of those pitches.

Thats the inning, so to the top of the 7th we go. I wonder if Rodriguez comes back out. I think Colon's day is done. He came in on a lot of rest, but its better to save some of those pitches. He gave us 6 strong when he didn't have his best stuff and only gave up 2 runs. Thats good enough to get the win and the offense needs to get some runs on the board and get Bartolo his first win as a White Sox!!!!

Nice article Matt. I still believe that this is one of the best bullpens in baseball though and that there isn't really much anything to worry about.

Colon then strikes out Barr on a 98 mph fastball, SUPER NICE Thats 6 k's for Bartolo. He also has 3 walks.

Karim Garcia grounds out to Jose Valentin and Josh Barr is now up. Colon is now at 102 pitches.

Damn...Garcia just hit a bomb but somehow it just went foul. Barely. Colon stayed in, but man did Garcia turn on that pitch.

Konerko flies out to end the inning. He hit it hard and I thought it was going to get through for a double but it didn't. To the bottom of the 6th they go.

Frank whiffs. This may be Rodriguez last inning. O-E-O

Colon looks pissed and he strikes out Burks too. I'm guessing that was his final inning. But he could pitch one more at the most. COME ON OFFENSE

Matt Lawton strikes out on some gass!!!

Come on Bartolo, lets get out of this only giving up one run. Sox need to score some more runs and they'll have the heart of the lineup due up.

I like Jimenez's swing. I sure hope one day he ends up being as good as Alomar. I'm sure many will say that he's already got kind of an attitude like Robby.

Jose breaks his bat and Haffner hangs with it and makes the grab over boy first to end the inning. At least its a tie. Hopefully Colon can get through the tribe quickly this inning and then the Sox offense can get him the lead.

One of my favorite things about Aaron is how good he executes those bunts. Jimenez grounds out but alomar advances to 3rd. Come on Jose, give us the lead!!!

Yesss, fair ball down the left field line and the ball game is tied at 1. Alomar is on 2nd now with one out and Jimenez at the plate. Nice hit Sandy

Sweet Bunt...Rowand drops it down and the pitcher throws and gets him out at first (Almost lucked out as it looked like Rodriguez had some trouble picking it up). Crede on 2nd now with Alomar up.

Crede with a ducksnort on an 0-2 pitch, me likey. Rowand is up now. I wonder if JM is going to be bunting Crede over?

Murc....Carlos has amazing bat speed and now he has patience. The stuff is their for him to do it, the question is whether he will. The big thing that will stop him is the mental approach. If he goes at it right, he will be very successful and I see him on the brink of figuring that all out. He missed the hangars, but he had another good atbat and him whacking the hangers will straighten out. As long as he keeps seeing a lot of pitches he'll be all right.

jas..i think those were curves that didnt curve..lol...whatever they were ,change up or rolling curves they were put up on a tee for carlos You may be right. I was thinking they were changeups he left up, but they very well could of been hanging curveballs. I agree with you either way. That is like teaball, he should be crushing those.

Caballo ripped one but it was foul. He flew open on two change ups and both pitches were right down the tube waiting to get crushed. Rodriguez is a little over 70 pitches right now I think.
